Audio Plays Based On The Novels
The audio play publisher Maritim produced new audio plays based on the first four novels by H.G. Francis. These appeared under the name Das Sternentor, since Europa still holds the rights of the name Commander Perkins. The fifth audio play was to appear in October 2005 but the demise of one of the starring actors delayed production. They were announced for July or August 2006.
